just putting finishing touches to this watercolour painting - it’s a smallscale thing in prep for a larger acrylic canvas i’m about to start.
I’ve nevr really worked with watercolour before and I liked this as the paint being semi-transparent allows you to preserve luminosity in the piece, almost making it seem reflective of light

Yet another illustration, really not sure about this one…see if you can read the text

New biro drawing, colour added in photoshop…not sure about the style, starting to think it would have worked better as a basic line drawing

Dropping through the letterbox today…new Nike Dunk Erthquke edition, sweet.

Little late-night doodle I just made between ticking boxes on a to-do list

Some new work in this whole signs series I’m chasing at the moment

Just got Photoshop CS4, been looking forward to trying out some of the weird new features, here’s my first attack at Auto-Blend

This is rambo, he’s my new companion! He arrived in the post a few days ago and has been busy exploring the place ever since (it’s not his fault, hes just not too speedy)

My new MF Doom SB Dunks arrived today, the wait nearly killed me. Seriously need to track down the mask to match!

Old pencil drawing that I just got scan of…is a photo of me while doin a wall

I’ve decided to expand my blog a bit - i’m going to start including links, sites, photos and stuff that catch my eye during the week.
Most will be design-related, but hopefully there will also be some culture stuff, music and sneakers…lots of sneakers.
to kick off, heres the website of awesome Nicholas Di Genova which I [...]

Tweaked this piece alot, seems a lot better now

continuing this whole ‘writing on the walls’ idea, taken to a pretty literal standing here. Not sure about the font. trying a few other versions out too.

Next piece based on this new idea i’m following at the moment, like this a lot more than the last.

Finally got round to finishing this canvas the other day, apologies for the awful photo…most of the skin tone gets lost, but you get the idea! Love to hear any feedback

Really been neglecting design at the moment, too much art! Heres some new work. Still not sure if I like this or not, but its led to a few more ideas i’m working on…the idea is a series of images showing people’s thoughts plastered on their hizzles

Fresh out of photoshop - the biro drawing i did mixed up with a load of paper and wallpaper textures. took ages..

Heres the canvas as it stands, all that needs to be added is a background and some pattern detail around the hands

just finished the main bit of the model’s hair. apologies for crap flash photo but, well….its dark! you can’t really see any of the detail or range of the hair but it gives a better idea of the shape

Finishing up the face, onto the hair…
